A dynamic approach to the tendency of industries to cluster



From (6) we see that:

Making a substitution of (7) and (8) into (9) leaves us with:


(10)


Z = xrnσ

Collecting the terms in (10) that relate to input xi 11 and simplifying leads to:


(11)


Z = xi11 Pn P j1σ

This can be written as:

Z = xn1 Ph P - -

Due to the symmetric fashion in which the


V i =1            i =1                )

producer service varieties enter the sub-production function of the manufacturing firm,
this expression of
P can be simplified to read:
(13)
p = (n 1 p 1-σ + n2( p21)1-σ )1-σ

, which the same as Equation (2). To see that P is the cost function, we solve for input
demand:
(14)
xfl1 = ZPi-σ P p

Letting the cost function be evaluated at a production of Z=1 leads to:

-σ
